Residents of Niger State are expressing frustration over worsening electricity supply across communities.

Many areas have experienced long hours without power, especially during important periods like Eid al-Fitr.

Governor Umaru Bago advised residents to consider solar energy, but the suggestion has been widely criticised.

Residents argue that solar systems are too expensive and unrealistic for many households already struggling with basic needs.

While government facilities move toward independent power, citizens say their daily challenges remain unchanged.

The situation highlights growing concerns about inequality in energy access and the need for practical solutions.
